    DAY 6: Exercise is better again but still harder than it should be.

    On another note, I discovered chai latte and malt loaf. Yum.

    I only ate meat twice this week. Was going to make a curry for the week but I don't feel like eating meat. I normally eat chicken or fish once a day, which is still less than most, but I think I want to change to every other day.

    I gave myself a two week hiatus and indulged in the ice cream. Back on the wagon though, with a 4 pound weight gain. It happens. You can let it define you and dwell and feel bad about yourself. I don't. I'm human. I was sick and still recovering. I'm not quite up to doing cardio yet, but back to getting my 10k steps a day and watching my intake. It's a good start.

    I love love love chai lattes :)

    Why does this always seem to get so hard after day 10? This is just so ridiculous. I've gone 60 days before. I've probably gone longer before. But I just can't seem to break this habit right now :(

    Oh I've been there. Indulged quite a bit this weekend for the holiday. My favorite holiday as well :) Lots of alcohol and ice cream. Was surprised to see a loss, but it appears my thyroid medicine is working and I'm on the mend from the pneumonia. Still super tired but getting my exercise back up as I go. One day at a time.

    Day 6. Again. Almost binged on some homemade bread, but went to the gym instead.

    This should be a lot easier over the summer holidays as I can nap and I shouldn't be as stressed. But I'm a new teacher so really I may be rather stressed planning lessons and trying to get myself ready :/

    The weekends are my weakness. Being home. I do great during the week. I just need to stop buying food. I have tons of junk left over from the party. Staying strong!!!

    This challenge is too restrictive and unrealistic. I keep on failing after ten days because I'm too restrictive - I must eat this much protein, I can't eat too many carbs, I can't, I can't, I can't. I just end up eating stuff that doesn't satisfy me until it all gets too much and I just binge.

    I never used to have this problem. I would not have breakfast and just eat dates all day (high carb) then have a huge plate of rice and chicken with mayo - which I really looked forward to and enjoyed. Dinners aren't as big anymore and so they kind of suck - which leads me to bingeing mainly after dinner.

    Having breakfast so early makes me hungrier during the day so I eat up more calories and have less left for dinner.

    I want to go back to how I was. And not just for 60 days.
